As the nation gears up to celebrate its 250th anniversary, we are excited to amplify the voices of American citizens whose work(s) have changed the country and region we live in.
Join us for a series of events centered around influential scholar and orator, Frederick Douglass, and other abolitionists that found themselves in Berkshire County and ventured further to take this meaningful work nationally.
This first event focuses on Douglass' life as someone who was once enslaved and fought for his freedom and other African Americans. The book group will read and discuss David Walker's graphic novel "The Life of Frederick Douglass: A Graphic Narrative of a Slave's Journey from Bondage to Freedom." Copies are available through our Interlibrary Loan system.
We will be using the provided Trauma Informed Discussion guide from the Mass Humanities Council to guide this discussion.
